The Truth About Trump’s Feud with the Mayor of San Juan

As Puerto Rico recovers in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Maria, President Trump’s response is being largely praised, while receiving some criticism from the mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz.

At first, everything seemed to go well, and Trump tweeted his support for Cruz and the rest of Puerto Rico in a tweet on September 26.

Thank you to Carmen Yulin Cruz, the Mayor of San Juan, for your kind words on FEMA etc.We are working hard. Much food and water there/on way

However, Mayor Cruz quickly began attacking President Trump, claiming that “people are dying,” and not enough was being done, and made allegations that Trump and his administration were “killing them with inefficiency.”

Trump responded on Twitter, and harshly condemned the San Juan Mayor’s comments.

The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.
